There is only one concert left until the end of the instance.
Wen Shi was thinking about how to get through the few days before the concert. Why not promote the story of King Asa and see if he could gain more followers
Unfortunately, the game seemed to already know what he was thinking, as the prompt sound continued to broadcast.
[All players please note that because Mingzhu College suffered a heavy blow, in order to appease the students' emotions, the concert will be held earlier this year.]
[Please wait for notification.]
Wen Shi thought to himself that a piece of the auditorium's roof had been blown off. Was it going to be held in the cold wind
Everyone is thinking about their own things.
Teacher Ruan, who was completely ignored in the cold wind, struggled to stand up and looked at the fallen body of the principal, wondering what he was thinking.
In Wen Shi's opinion, this was a feeling of emptiness after a great revenge. Teacher Ruan first betrayed the Mermaid King, and although the principal was seriously injured by him afterwards, the final blow was dealt by Jian Qingrong, so he probably felt unwilling to accept it.
Can't stay here for long.
If he continues to stay here, anyone with a little bit of power can kill him. Teacher Ruan's face is gloomy and pale. The mermaid has businesses outside the school, so she can make a comeback one day.
"Human..." Yarlin suddenly spoke.
Teacher Ruan paused as he passed him, blood dripping from his shoulder.
"You can't kill them all."
There are so many humans in this world, it is difficult for mermaids to completely replace humans.
If they cannot reverse the gene that requires eating to reproduce, they will become extinct sooner or later even if they occupy the Mermaid Coast.
Teacher Ruan clenched his fists, walked forward without saying a word, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
In the end, the only one who watched him disappear was Wen Shi. Wen Shi discovered a very interesting phenomenon in Teacher Ruan. Although he also broke the rules, Teacher Ruan abandoned his natural loyalty and did not go crazy.
He temporarily summarized it into two reasons. One is that animals are born with a hierarchy of admiring the strong. When the mermaid king was betrayed, he was no longer as strong as before. The second is... Wen Shi looked at the mirror. As the source of the breaking of the rules, the [Philosophical Mirror] has a certain power.
Before dawn, Wen Shi found the radio station on campus.
The door was not locked, which showed that the announcer had evacuated in a hurry. He turned on the equipment and asked the little octopus to broadcast to the whole campus. When the little octopus became serious, his voice was low and elegant: "Dear students, the disaster is over, and King Asa will always be with you."
The broadcast echoed throughout the campus. Some students carefully opened the windows and indeed did not hear any sounds of fighting.
As for the content of the broadcast, most people thought that it was a prank by a student who worshipped King Arthur and ran out secretly. It might be the damned freshman who was the only one who didn't follow the school rules. However, they all prayed to King Asa to bless the disaster tonight, including those students who didn't believe in King Asa. The main reason was that they couldn't think of what to worship. There was no mythology on the Mermaid Coast.
When it was almost dawn, the bodies were taken away and several construction teams suddenly entered the campus and began to clean up the rubble and carry out post-disaster reconstruction.
“This efficiency…”
When Wen Shi was sighing, a voice came from behind: "A few more high-ranking members of the school have returned. Teacher Qi is in charge of the overall situation. He has contacted the wealthy businessmen on the coast and obtained a large amount of sponsorship by giving their children the qualification to enter the school without taking the entrance exam."
Wen Shi looked up and his first thought was: the sheep are coming.
The fat man still pretended to be kind to others, but this time he didn't do it to plot against Wen Shi: "It's courtesy to return the favor. I'll remind you once more. Do you know why Ji Yuanzhi took so long yesterday?"
Wen Shi was indeed somewhat curious about this matter. Ji Yuanzhi originally went to delay the principal, but later on, he arrived late after the principal and the mermaid had finished fighting.
"Not long after you reminded me, a large number of monsters in the dormitory building began to come out and chase me alone."
Wen Shi also encountered a similar situation. The monster only chased one person because of the [Fire Doll], but he remembered that to activate this thing, he needed to put in the player's hair.
The fat man smiled grimly: "I have always been cautious. It is impossible for anyone in the copy to take my hair."
“… Half a month before entering the dungeon, I stayed at the hotel owned by the Second Commandment.”
Wen Shi's expression changed, and he understood what he was hinting at.
Some hotel employees were secretly selling players' hair.
No wonder Ji Yuanzhi had such an ugly expression last night. Once this matter gets out, it will have a huge impact on the hotel.
"All employees working in the virtual world must sign a contract in advance," said the fat man, "but strictly speaking, buying and selling guests' hair does not constitute betrayal of the hotel."
When the fat man was being chased by the monster, he immediately called Ji Yuanzhi to ask him for help.
Most people wouldn't dare to lie about this kind of thing, so in order to protect the hotel's reputation, Ji Yuanzhi helped to sweep away the monsters for several hours.
"Among the hotel guests, whose hair is the most valuable?" the fat man asked meaningfully and turned to leave.
Wen Shi was sure that he was the best.
After pondering for a while alone and unable to come up with a solution, he finally decided to fill his stomach first and think about other things later.
The cafeteria is closed today, so you can only buy food at the store.
When Wen Shi left, only bread was left. When he brought the bread back to the dormitory, Ji Yuanzhi was the only one sitting quietly on the chair.
Yaerlin didn't like small spaces. In order to protect Wen Shi, he just stayed in the dormitory and several fixed places on campus. After the matter was over, he immediately took his spirit body to the coast to get some fresh air. Song Yan didn't know until when he extended the time for his body transformation, and he hadn't changed back yet.
There was no sign of anything unusual on Ji Yuanzhi's face, he even looked as calm and composed as usual.
"I'll give you a solution." He spoke suddenly without saying anything specific. He expected that Fatty would go and tell Wen Shi, so when he won a great victory in the early morning, he didn't mention such a disappointing thing.
Ji Yuanzhi has always been very meticulous in his planning, but unfortunately even a god cannot take care of every detail.
Wen Shi chewed slowly, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I won't have any prejudice against Erjie because of this. After all, everyone is careless at work sometimes."
Ji Yuanzhi was slightly stunned, surprised that this man didn't even frown when it came to such a life-threatening matter
Wen Shi finished the last bite of bread and said seriously, "I knew long ago that eating and drinking for free is never a good thing."
This statement is not sarcastic, it is very realistic.
He doesn't care whether it's his super lucky attribute or the love or hate some monsters have for him because of his father. He takes the benefits when they come, and then responds accordingly when it's time to pay back the debt.
Wen Shi packed up his things and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After another death last night, the whole set of clothes was covered in blood and was still sticky from sticking to the body.
When walking towards the bathroom, Wen Shi suddenly realized something was wrong. Last night, Jian Qingrong saw him covered in blood, but he didn't say anything and just chatted and laughed normally. It was not until dawn that he was sure there was no danger, and then he made an excuse that he had something else to do and didn't go to the dormitory with him.
"..." Could this guy be squatting in a corner and becoming evil by himself
In the dormitory, Ji Yuanzhi looked out the window, took off his glasses and gently pressed them between his eyebrows.
The matter has not been confirmed yet, but he estimated that there was a problem within the hotel and the number of transactions would not be too large. Generally, guests are very careful when staying in a hotel, but there are always exceptions.
According to Fatty, he accepted an emergency team request from a fellow traveler when he checked in, and did not have time to check the room again. Pei Wenwei has lived in the hotel for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions.
Ji Yuanzhi quickly made a list of suspects in his mind, and followed the tiny light from the balcony with his peripheral vision, slowly planning something.
Before 4 p.m., everyone returned to the dormitories one after another, and the college officially announced on the radio:
"The concert will begin promptly at 7pm tomorrow evening, and students who need to rehearse may use the auditorium between 6pm and 9pm."
The auditorium was the first place to be renovated and has already been put into use.
The role is small and unimportant, but Wen Shi, who is going to play the role of cracking the stone, still has to go to rehearsal. Because Ji Yuanzhi has to use someone else's identity, he goes out early to prepare to hit the target he had chosen before.
On the way, Wen Shi heard some players complaining.
"Who knew something like this would happen last night? I'd better try to get points sooner next time."
As of tomorrow, all players' daily points will stop counting. If you still want to give it a try, you can only find a living teacher to try to trigger the side quest.
"Why don't we sneak in and give it a try? Otherwise, we won't get any points for the reward."
"Don't you want to live? If you are caught, you will definitely die."
Wen Shi suddenly envied Song Yan. The latter could turn into a mirror and be taken to the concert, but whether he would be found out or not depended on the arrangement of the game will.
Song Yan is also aware of this, so he never slacks off when passing the dungeon.
The next day was sunny and windy, and the rainy weather that had lasted for several days finally disappeared.
When leaving the dormitory building at six o'clock, Wen Shi found that the dormitory manager was missing.
Seeing that he had been looking towards the duty room, Jian Qingrong said calmly: "There's nothing to worry about. You don't like her anyway."
Wen Shi didn't take it to heart.
The dormitory manager was not a good person either. He almost missed the day of the dormitory inspection. The next day he found out that those who came back late would be taken to the bathroom and have their teeth broken.
The college had no intention of holding a memorial service for the president, but only set aside a place to place white chrysanthemums as a memorial. As for Lily and other missing faculty members, the school's top management tacitly ignored the situation and privately prohibited anyone from mentioning the names of the deceased. They were prepared to use time to completely turn over the bloody record of that night.
The students who have been qualified as spectators are all wearing the same uniform and look very energetic. Later, sponsors and some local dignitaries will also come to watch.
All the actors who arrived early went backstage to put on makeup. Wen Shi was wearing a gray but detailed performance costume. A senior from the crew came from the side and back with a happy voice: "I heard that everyone can get extra credits, and our graduation rate will also be higher this year."
The other one glanced at Wen Shi and deliberately raised his voice: "The school will soon expel some of the special students."
The copy is almost over, and even this sarcastic tone is soothing to listen to.
The only thing that made Wen Shi a little worried was the Wandering Corpses. The rehearsal time was tight yesterday, and everyone just walked through the scenes in a hurry. For a solo piece like the Wandering Corpses, they didn't even need to walk through the scenes.
The teacher who was doing the makeup for the zombie frowned. The skin was too strange, cold and pale, so she had to use a darker foundation. The makeup artist did the makeup for ten people alone, and didn't think much about it. In the end, she applied rouge to make the zombie look better.
At 6:50, all the guests arrived.
The concert started on time at 7 o'clock. Wen Shi adjusted the program to the second one and did not leave the backstage.
The host was speaking at the front desk, and loud and clear music was playing, accompanied by the sound of shoes tapping on the wooden stage. After the opening dance, Wen Shi followed the students in front of him onto the stage, thinking as he walked that it was a pity that he didn't have the chance to be a backup dancer this time.
It is a loss to the art world that the singing and dancing group failed to form a group.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, he sensed that someone was staring at him. Wen Shi came to his senses and accurately located Jian Qingrong, who was sitting in the second row holding flowers. There was a small octopus clinging to the flowers.
Wen Shi: “…”
As a sponsor’s privilege, Jian Qingrong got a spot as an audience member.
Originally, the building he sponsored was called Nianwen Building. For the sake of good luck, it was changed to Laishi Building. When Wenshi heard this, his mouth twitched and he asked if it was taken from "good luck comes". Jian Qingrong did not give a clear answer, but he was very satisfied with the name anyway.
On the slope of the auditorium roof, Yarlin used his mental power to follow the performance inside.
"My performance was good, it was very real and natural."
Leopard spirit: "Yeah."
Although they have never seen anyone else play stone.
Flowers were not allowed on the stage. After Wen Shi finished his performance, he went backstage to change his costume. Only when he came down did Jian Qingrong hand him the flowers.
To be fair, the students of Mingzhu College are quite strong, and any one of their works can be passed down as a classic if released outside.
When Wen Shi was watching with great interest as a spectator, the wandering corpse came on stage.
Tonight, Youshi was dressed very neatly, wearing a tuxedo and a slicked-back hairdo. Because he was very tall and had broad shoulders, his temperament could support this hairstyle.
He finally stood on the stage he had always dreamed of, holding the microphone, but suddenly he was blank for two seconds.
The host was standing beside the stage, winking at him desperately.
Wen Shi was in the audience, desperately looking for earplugs.
"grateful… "
Youshi's sudden words made Wen Shi pause and he looked over in surprise.
"Thank you, harp, thank you, heart," the strange words and punctuation made the audience look at each other in bewilderment. When Teacher Qi's face turned black, Youshi finally got to the point: "Tomorrow Will Be Better, for you."
Wen Shi was silent for a moment, and after a moment he thought with comfort: This rebellious son finally understands something.
The zombie half-closed his eyes, enjoying the stage with the attitude of a soul singer, and began to sing:
"Gently awaken the sleeping soul—"
The heart of the Mermaid King did work to some extent, and the song was not out of tune, but when it was sung, every note was filled with a feeling of oppression and darkness, and the words seemed to be full of suffering. People who heard it finally no longer felt simply nauseous, but more like they had eaten poisonous mushrooms, with numbness and dizziness in their mouths.
The singing was like a bell striking his heart. Wen Shi, who was just moved for two seconds, covered his chest and said, "Stop knocking. You're going to knock your dad out."
I felt more and more dizzy, especially the people sitting in the first row. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads in surprise. How could such a show be performed on stage
"Slowly open your eyes—"
The sound engineer tried his best to amplify the sound of the accompaniment, but no matter how loud it was, the sound of the zombies was always one degree higher.
Three minutes passed, and the zombies finished singing. The host stumbled as he came on stage, and after barely standing still, he said, "I'm tired of watching the same old shows. This year we specially arranged a refreshing show for everyone. The beautiful lyrics and the different singing methods imply that there will be endless life after suffering!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
The claim that this was a deliberate arrangement is quite credible, after all, most people can't really sing to this effect.
Wen Shi's head drooped weakly, feeling that he needed to rest for a while. He saw the little octopus fainted in the bouquet and performed CPR on it with his fingers.
The concert lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening, and ended with a chorus every year. This year's chorus song was "A Warm Day in the Sun", which Teacher Ruan played on the phonograph on the first day of class.
Wen Shi listened to the speech with some emotion. The host stood on the stage with great emotion: "Talent brings us together. Thank you to all the guests... See you next year!"
With a "pop" sound, golden ribbons fell from above their heads. The students stood up and applauded and cheered. The players present also clapped their hands sincerely a few times to celebrate that they could finally leave the dungeon.
"Congratulations to the player for clearing the S-rank dungeon "Mermaid Coast"."
"The camp mission rewards have been sent to your backpack, please check it carefully."
"The copy settlement will be carried out soon."
"The player successfully secured a performance opportunity at the concert and received 2 times the points reward, for a total of 8,000 points."
The copy has not been transferred yet, Wen Shi directly clicks into the backpack to check:
[Small cloak: A must-have for characters in the Chaotic Evil camp, it can conceal 40% of aura, protect against 30% of cold, and can make you invisible for one minute per day.]
Wen Shi: “…”
He loved the fairness of the game!
The damage to the singing voice caused by the zombies was finally healed.
Just as they were about to check the accompanying skills, the host bowed in thanks on the stage, signaling the end of the concert.
Amid the noise of students and audience members getting up and walking out, the surrounding scene suddenly became less clear, a sign that the transmission was about to begin.
Wen Shi looked at Jian Qingrong and said, "Tea talk..."
I wanted to say see you at the tea party, but my voice was bounced back by an invisible force.
Wen Shi was helpless. After a flash of white light in front of his eyes, he could only wait for the transmission to be completed in the blurry mosaic.
·
virtual reality.
It was a cloudy day with heavy fog.
Wen Shi went straight back to the Erjie hotel as usual and enjoyed the high-end suite service.
Ji Yuanzhi would naturally investigate the hair issue. He first enjoyed a comfortable hot bath. There was still an hour before the tea party could be held. After ordering room service, Wen Shi suddenly left a message to the game out of curiosity:
"Why was the Count not there when the monster was pulled in last time when [Come to my house] was activated?"
The cold mechanical voice replied:
[Please do not skip this target every time you send afternoon tea invitations.]
"..." Wen Shi laughed awkwardly.
I was careless. As the Crazy Count who was determined to be one of the thousandth family members with the help of a loophole in the game, Wen Shi's attitude has always been to stay away from him and he would simply ignore him when he was invited.
The game has been recovering faster and faster recently, and Wen Shi strongly suspects that it is related to the zombies' upcoming second round of evolution.
It is unknown what connection exists between the two parties.
"Zombies..."
A rebellious son whose loyalty level has never exceeded 10 but who has learned to be grateful on stage proves that his educational policy was not wrong.
However, Wen Shi soon stopped caring about the wandering corpse. After he suddenly relaxed, his long-lost memories reminded him how pretentious he was in front of his family last time.
"I hope they've forgotten my second-year performance last time."
Wen Shi prayed devoutly.
Before the kingdom is completely established, let the zombies take the blame and say that they were poisoned by the singing.
